[sci.math] International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics

ariel@bimacs.BITNET (Ariel J. Frank) (08/06/89)

    International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics
                        January 3-5, 1990
                    Fort Lauderdale, Florida


    Program Chair:
        Martin Golumbic, IBM Science and Technology, Haifa, Israel
             (email:  golumbic@israearn.bitnet)
    Organizing Chair:
        Frederick Hoffman, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton

    The International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and
    Mathematics is the first of a biennial series featuring
    applications of mathematics in artificial intelligence as well as
    artificial intelligence techniques and results in mathematics.
    There has always been a strong relationship between the two
    disciplines, however, the contact between practitioners of each
    has been limited, partly by the lack of a forum in which the
    relationship could grow and flourish.  This symposium, alternating
    with the existing series of Workshops on Statistics and AI,
    represents a small step towards improving contacts and promoting
    cross-fertilization between the two areas.


    Keynote speaker:
        David Mumford, Harvard University
              "Finding Discrete Structure in a Noisy Analogue World"

    Invited Hour Speakers
        Martin Davis, Courant Institute, NYU
              "Remarks on the Foundations of Artificial Intelligence"
        Zohar Manna, Stanford University
              "Automated Deduction--Techniques and Applications"
        Drew McDermott, Yale University
              "Numerical Methods in Artificial Intelligence"
        Alan Robinson, Syracuse University
              "Artificial and Natural Proofs in Mathematics"
        Leslie Valiant, Harvard University
              "Computational Learning Theory"



                         Approach of the Symposium

   The symposium will be of interest to an audience of both computer
   scientists and mathematicians.  The number of contributed papers will
   be quite limited, with several invited special sessions organized by
   members of the program committee.  Those wishing to present a paper
   at the Symposium may be recommended to the program chairman by a
   member of the program committee or by the invited hour speakers
   up to October 20, 1989.

                          Publication

    Authors will be invited to submit, within one month after the
    Symposium, a final full length version of their paper, to be
    considered for inclusion in a thoroughly refereed volume of the
    series, Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence.
